Debris of crashed F-35 flight recorder found without storage medium

TOKYO (Kyodo) – Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya said Tuesday that the debris of a flight data recorder from a crashed Japanese Air Self-Defense Force F-35A had been recovered from the Pacific seabed but the storage medium was missing.

The U.S.-chartered deep sea search vessel Van Gogh had retrieved the heavily damaged flight recorder and a piece from the canopy since Friday, Iwaya told a press conference.

The defense minister said the ASDF will continue its operation with U.S. military support to recover the debris of the cutting-edge single-seat stealth jet developed by U.S. defense company Lockheed Martin Corp. The aircraft's pilot remains missing.

The F-35A went down April 9 off Aomori Prefecture in northeastern Japan during an ASDF night exercise, after taking off from Misawa Air Base in the prefecture.

The search operation is being conducted by a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force vessel, a deep-sea research ship owned by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, and the Van Gogh.

Trump administration forces China to sell the Port of Long Beach

The Trump Administration's Department of Homeland Security has forced China's state-owned Costco to sell the Port of Long Beach over security concerns.

China's Costco Shipping Holdings, which bought out its 75 percent–owned Hong Kong–based Orient Overseas International (OOCL), was forced to sell its Port of Long Beach Container Terminal ownership to Macquarie Infrastructure Partners for $1.78 billion.

The Obama administration had no problems with OOCL signing a 40-year lease with the City of Long Beach in 2012 for control of America's second largest and most automated container handling operation. The sweetheart deal was part of the "Middle Harbor Redevelopment Program" to fund a $1.5-billion expansion through 2020.

But one of the first major actions of the Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security in March 2017 was issuing a "Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S." national security hold on Costco's acquisition of a former U.S. Navy port facility.

No conditions for Japan-N. Korea summit, Abe tells POTUS

The Yomiuri Shimbun Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told U.S. President Donald Trump during telephone talks on Monday night that he aims to realize a bilateral meeting with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un to resolve the issue of the abduction of Japanese nationals by North Korea without setting any preconditions.

The Japanese and U.S. leaders also agreed to cooperate with each other in analyzing details of projectiles recently launched by North Korea.

After the telephone talks, Abe told reporters: “I myself must face Workers’ Party of Korea Chairman Kim Jong Un without setting any conditions. I’m determined to secure any opportunity.”

So far, the prime minister has stated that a bilateral meeting with Kim “must be a meeting that can be conducive to resolving the abduction issue.”

However, among member countries of six-party talks over North Korea’s nuclear issues, only Japan has not held a bilateral meeting with North Korea. Abe’s shift in stance seems to indicate a prioritization of realizing a bilateral meeting with Pyongyang.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said: “The prime minister has spoken of his determination more clearly to directly face Chairman Kim.”

“To resolve the abduction issue, it’s important for Japan to take the initiative,” he added.

In Monday’s telephone talks, the two leaders coordinated responses to North Korea’s launching on Saturday of several short-range projectiles from around Wonsan, a city on North Korea’s east coast.

Abe and Trump reconfirmed that they will aim for a swift realization of an agreement in the U.S.-North Korea bilateral meeting in June last year, in which Pyongyang promised total denuclearization.

Abe told reporters: “As to the response to North Korea, I share absolutely the same view as Mr. Trump in all respects.”

If the projectiles launched by Pyongyang were ballistic missiles, the actions would violate U.N. Security Council sanctions resolutions concerning North Korea. Both Japan and the United States will make detailed analyses of Pyongyang’s actions.

In the telephone talks, Abe and Trump also discussed a new trade negotiation between Japan and the United States. They confirmed that the two countries will accelerate the trade talks so that the outcome will be beneficial for both sides.

Back in 2008, US Army 1st Lt Michael Behenna shot a suspected al-Qaeda operative, Ali Mansur Mohammed, to death avenging the demise of two members of the lieutenant's platoon who had been killed in a blast. The next year, Behenna was sentenced to 25 years in jail but had his sentence reduced by ten years and was released on parole in 2014.

US President Donald Trump has pardoned former US Army first lieutenant Michael Behenna, of Oklahoma, who was convicted in 2009 of murdering an Iraqi prisoner.

White House Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders, said in a statement that President Trump had signed an executive order granting full clemency to the former soldier.

"Mr Behenna's case has attracted broad support from the military, Oklahoma elected officials, and the public", White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said. "While serving his sentence, Mr Behenna was a model prisoner. In light of these facts, Mr Behenna is entirely deserving of this Grant of Executive Clemency".

Michael Behenna was tried by a military court in 2009 for executing the detainee suspected of having ties with al-Qaeda.

At the trial, the former lieutenant confessed that instead of following the order to take the prisoner home, Behenna took the man to a railroad culvert, stripped him naked and interrogated him at gunpoint over a roadside blast that had killed two fellow soldiers. Behenna said that the detainee had moved towards him prompting him to shoot the man in self-defence.

Volkswagen unit Porsche to pay 535 million euro fine over diesel cheating

BERLIN/FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German prosecutors imposed a 535 million euro ($598 million) fine on German luxury carmaker Porsche AG, a unit of Volkswagen, as punishment for lapses in supervisory duties which allowed the company to cheat diesel emissions tests.

Prosecutors in the southern city of Stuttgart on Tuesday said that the company’s development department had neglected its legal obligations, which ultimately led to the sale of diesel cars that spewed excessive pollution levels.

The fine against Porsche follows a 1 billion euro penalty for management lapses imposed against Volkswagen by prosecutors in Braunschweig, and a fine of 800 million euros against Audi by prosecutors in Munich, Germany last year.

U.S. authorities disclosed Volkswagen’s systematic emissions cheating on Sept. 18, 2015, sparking the biggest business scandal in the company’s history which has cost Volkswagen Group 30 billion euros in penalties and fines.

VW, Porsche and Audi all sold diesel engine cars which failed to conform to clean air rules and cheated emissions tests.

German prosecutors have pursued individual engineers and took action against the companies for lack of oversight because managers failed to prevent heavily polluting cars from hitting European roads.

Prosecutors said Porsche had not appealed the findings by the prosecutor.

Porsche confirmed the fine and said that prosecutors’ proceedings against the company had come to an end.

The fine does not hinder ongoing proceedings against individual people in relation to Porsche’s diesel manipulations, the prosecutors added.

Notable: >>6436399 Accused Cult Founder Could Face Former ‘Slaves’ at New York Trial

NEW YORK—Former self-help guru Keith Raniere goes on trial on May 7 on charges of running a secretive New York cult that recruited female “slaves” who were then starved, branded with his initials, and blackmailed into having sex with him.

Federal prosecutors have charged Raniere, 58, with using his cultlike Nxivm group, which claimed to offer members unique insights into life, as a front for crimes including sex trafficking, child pornography, and sexual exploitation of a minor.

Several of his alleged “slaves” are expected to testify at U.S. District Court in Brooklyn. While prosecutors have not said who will take the stand, former “Smallville” star Allison Mack and Seagram liquor heiress Clare Bronfman have already pleaded guilty to playing supporting roles in the scheme.

Jurors have been warned to expect disturbing testimony and evidence during a trial that could run six weeks. Prosecutors intend to introduce explicit photographs of a 15-year-old girl alleged to have been one of Raniere’s victims, seized from his computer hard drive.

Mack and Bronfman are among five co-defendants, all women accused of involvement in Nxivm, who pleaded guilty to various charges in March and April, leaving Raniere as the sole person to face trial. The television actress tearfully acknowledged in court that she had blackmailed two women into providing services for her and other Nxivm members.

Bronfman, who provided key financial support for Nxivm, pleaded guilty in April and agreed to forfeit $6 million.

Raniere has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Marc Agnifilo, one of Raniere’s lawyers, has said that his client’s sexual encounters with women in the organization were consensual and denied the child pornography and exploitation charges.

The trial caps a bizarre saga for Raniere, who was arrested in March 2018 after fleeing to Mexico with Bronfman.

Nxivm, which started under another name in 1998 and is pronounced “Nexium,” was based in Albany, New York, and at one time operated numerous centers across the United States, Canada, Central America, and Mexico.

The organization marketed itself as a business “providing educational tools, coaching and trainings” that would allow “humanity to rise to its noble possibility,” according to court filings.

In 2015, prosecutors say, Raniere established a sorority within Nxivm known as DOS, an acronym for a Latin phrase that roughly translates to “master of the obedient female companions.”

The subgroup included “slaves” who were expected to bend their wills to “masters” in a pyramid-like structure, with slaves expected in turn to recruit their own subordinates and Raniere standing alone at the top.

The slaves were required to submit “collateral” to win acceptance that could then be used as blackmail material: Nude photos, rights to their financial assets or damaging information about friends and relatives, prosecutors said.

Several women were branded with Raniere’s initials, prosecutors said, and they were required to engage in sexual acts with him. He is also accused of having forced some women to maintain slim figures by following a dangerously restrictive diet.

If convicted, Raniere faces up to life in prison.

Notable: Pakistan PM broke ground on Sunday for University to counter islamophobia

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday broke ground for Al-Qadir University here which he said will create future leaders to counter Islamophobia and protect ideology of Pakistan.

Addressing the ceremony, the prime minister said the university will teach the students the principles of State of Madina and Pakistan’s ideology as envisioned by Allama Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam. He said the concept of establishment of a university in Sohawa is to provide equal quality education to the youth across the country.

To be built at an area of 200 kanals, the institution will consist of a Sufi Academic Block with capacity of 800 students, Science Block for 700 students, hostel for 200 boys and girls, an auditorium and a library.

The prime minister said it is a private university that will be run on donations by philanthropists contributing in national cause to broaden the educational base. He said 35 percent of the students will be given scholarships and get free education while rest 65 percent will fund their studies by themselves.

He said besides teaching contemporary sciences like artificial intelligence and technology, the main focus of the university will be research on Sufism and its connection with Islam. “We have to groom our youth as leaders.We will create scholars who will respond to the anti-Islam tirade started after 9/11,” he said, adding that Chinese assistance will also be sought for teaching and research on technology-related subjects.

The prime minister said the university has been named after Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani who happened to be a top Sufi and had also established link between Islam and spirituality. He said Sufism is a great science but contrary to western world, no university in Pakistan is holding research on the subject.

He said the previous leaders had buried the ideology of Pakistan which was meant to make the country an Islamic welfare state. He said the nations ignoring their ideology cannot exist. “Nations face ups and downs but they should not give up their ideology,” he said, adding that Naya Pakistan will feature meritocracy, justice and education, minority rights on the pattern of State of Madina.

He said what had been happening in Pakistan was never in accordance of an Islamic welfare state. He recalled that besides India’s role, the injustices to the people also contributed to the disintegration of the country…….

Researchers with Symantec believe the Chinese government captured the code from an NSA attack on their own systems rather than stealing it, according to the article. The hacking group that repurposed the tools has committed several attacks on U.S. targets including space, satellite and nuclear propulsion tech manufacturers, according the Times, citing a classified agency memo.

Two Reuters reporters freed in Myanmar after more than 500 days in jail

YANGON (Reuters) - Two Reuters journalists jailed in Myanmar after they were convicted of breaking the Official Secrets Act walked free from a prison on the outskirts of Yangon on Tuesday after spending more than 500 days behind bars.

The two reporters, Wa Lone, 33, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 29, had been convicted in September and sentenced to seven years in jail, in a case that raised questions about Myanmar’s progress toward democracy and sparked an outcry from diplomats and human rights advocates. They were released under a presidential amnesty for 6,520 prisoners on Tuesday. President Win Myint has pardoned thousands of other prisoners in mass amnesties since last month. It is customary in Myanmar for authorities to free prisoners across the country around the time of the traditional New Year, which began on April 17. Reuters has said the two men did not commit any crime and had called for their release.

Swamped by media and well-wishers as they walked through the gates of Insein Prison, a grinning Wa Lone gave a thumbs up and said he was grateful for the international efforts to secure their freedom. “I’m really happy and excited to see my family and my colleagues. I can’t wait to go to my newsroom,” he said. Kyaw Soe Oo smiled and waved to reporters. The two were then driven away by Reuters colleagues and reunited with their wives and children.

Before their arrest in December 2017, they had been working on an investigation into the killing of 10 Rohingya Muslim men and boys by security forces and Buddhist civilians in western Myanmar’s Rakhine State during an army crackdown that began in August 2017. The operation sent more than 730,000 Rohingya fleeing to Bangladesh, according to U.N. estimates. The report the two men authored, featuring testimony from perpetrators, witnesses and families of the victims, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting in May, adding to a number of accolades received by the pair for their journalism. Calls to a spokesman for the Myanmar government were not immediately answered.

Reuters Editor-in-Chief Stephen J. Adler welcomed the news. “We are enormously pleased that Myanmar has released our courageous reporters, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo. Since their arrests 511 days ago, they have become symbols of the importance of press freedom around the world. We welcome their return,” Adler said. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was he was relieved to learn of the release, a spokesman said. The United Nations in Myanmar said it saw the release as a sign of the government’s commitment to the transition to democracy. The U.S. embassy also welcomed the release and said it was glad the two could return to their families.

Documents Expose How Hollywood Promotes War on Behalf of the Pentagon, CIA and NSA

US military intelligence agencies have influenced over 1,800 movies and TV shows

Tom Secker and Matthew Alford report on their astonishing findings from trawling through thousands of new US military and intelligence documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

The documents reveal for the first time the vast scale of US government control in Hollywood, including the ability to manipulate scripts or even prevent films too critical of the Pentagon from being made — not to mention influencing some of the most popular film franchises in recent years.

This raises new questions not only about the way censorship works in the modern entertainment industry, but also about Hollywood’s little known role as a propaganda machine for the US national security apparatus.

***

When we first looked at the relationship between politics, film and television at the turn of the 21st century, we accepted the consensus opinion that a small office at the Pentagon had, on request, assisted the production of around 200 movies throughout the history of modern media, with minimal input on the scripts.

How ignorant we were.

More appropriately, how misled we had been.

We have recently acquired 4,000 new pages of documents from the Pentagon and CIA through the Freedom of Information Act. For us, these documents were the final nail in the coffin.

These documents for the first time demonstrate that the US government has worked behind the scenes on over 800 major movies and more than 1,000 TV titles.

The previous best estimate, in a dry academic book way back in 2005, was that the Pentagon had worked on less than 600 films and an unspecified handful of television shows.

The CIA’s role was assumed to be just a dozen or so productions, until very good books by Tricia Jenkins and Simon Willmetts were published in 2016. But even then, they missed or underplayed important cases, including Charlie Wilson’s War and Meet the Parents.

Notable: ANTIFA tried to get weaponry from someone connected to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel

ANTIFA tried to get weaponry from someone connected to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which has ties to the Sinaloa Cartel

Articles came out last week about how ANTIFA wanted to get weapons to stage an armed rebellion, protest, and occupation of the southern border to support illegals and the democrat party.

The articles mentioned the FBI found this out in December because of a still ongoing investigation into journalists, NGO workers, lawyers, and others illegally aiding illegals enter the country.

Q mentioned this article in crumb #2999 by saying "Leak was plugged". An alternative meaning to "plug" is promote something. It's plausible this investigation was leaked so the public and anons could have "a 'glimpse' into the shadows" (Pic1).

The leak about ANTIFA was likely the 2nd leak that served the same purpose as the first. (Pic2)

As a result of this investigation, in which the illegal activity to get illegals here was documented and put into a database, the FBI and other agencies came across an ANTIFA plot to buy guns, weapons, ammo, and other supplies for an armed rebellion at the southern border.

They were in contact with two people, one has the nickname "Cobra Commander", and he is connected to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

This cartel is relatively new but grew out of the Sinaloa Cartel as their enforcers, drug runners, and private army and foot solders for other functions.

The Sinaloa Cartel was used by and worked with the DEA, ICE, DOJ, FBI and CIA.

They "made deals with criminal bosses allowing them to avoid prosecution for a vast crime spree that has included mass murder, corruption, bribery, drug trafficking, extortion, and more."

Don't forget it was the Sinaloa Cartel that Hussein and Holder used for Fast and Furious. That one was exposed, but imagine how many other FBI, DEA, and CIA plots WERE NOT DISCOVERED. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel likely got weapons from the Sinaloa Cartel, which was aided, helped, funded, and GIVEN WEAPONS by the CIA and others.

The Sinaloa to Jalisco New Generation Cartel to ANTIFA connection means it's plausible ANTIFA could've been getting (if they did) CIA (and others) FUNDED AND TRAFFICKED WEAPONRY, and if black hats are behind this, they are likely still trying to get weapons from one cabal army (Cartels) to the youth wing of the cabal (ANTIFA)

Syrian Army Launches Long-Awaited Operation Against Militants In Greater Idlib

n the morning of May 6, the Syrian Army and its allies started an offensive operation to crack down on militants in the northwestern part of Hama province.

Russia and Turkey Divided Over Idleb

The material differences between Ankara and Moscow around Idleb’s fate have remained, in particular the fate of the armed groups there. The evidence of the growing differences between Ankara and Moscow is the air raids by Russian and regime aircraft during the closing statement in Astana. he opposition military analyst General Ahmed Rihal said that there are four points of dispute between Russia and Turkey which are not solvable.

The first point is the joint patrols between Russia and Turkey. The Syrian interior does not accept joint patrols. The second point is the international roads, as it isn’t possible to open the international roads and put them under the control of the regime and Iran, since the Free Syrian Army will not accept this, nor will the residents.

The third point relates to dismantling Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and its siblings, since Turkey must either enter into a major battle with the group and increase civilian casualties or continue to be accused of supporting terrorism.

The fourth point is the source of the major dispute, which has not been disclosed by Russia and which Turkey knows, which is the American-Turkish rapprochement around east of the Euphrates, where the Turkish Chief of Staff said that Washington had expressed major flexibility in setting up a safe zone east of the Euphrates.

Notable: CNN: 100 staff accept voluntary buyouts re layoffs 'rumor'

CNN says 100 employees accepted voluntary buyouts in response to layoffs 'rumor'

CNN says roughly 100 employees have accepted voluntary buyouts a month after an overhaul by parent company AT&T. According to Deadline, AT&T's decision to offer buyouts, similar to those offered at HBO and the remnants of Turner, was in an effort to chip away at approximately $170 billion in outstanding debt, which AT&T agreed to take on as a result of their acquisition of Time Warner announced in 2016. In March, AT&T restructured the majority of their TV assets under the umbrella of WarnerMedia, including CNN. The news came after what CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter said was a "rumor" about layoffs.

"There's a rumor making the rounds today about big impending layoffs at CNN," Stelter tweeted Monday evening. "A CNN spokeswoman is knocking it down on the record: 'No layoffs.' There WERE voluntary buyouts throughout the organization, and about 100 people opted for it." WarnerMedia and CNN claim there have been no layoffs and the only exits from the company have been through the buyout process, although it is unclear if the program has a threshold of participants to prevent layoffs.

The buyouts also coincide with the first official broadcast of CNN from their new home base at 30 Hudson Yards in New York. CNN's move to the new location consolidates almost all of WarnerMedia together in a single building.

"CNN makes history with its first live broadcast from our new studios at @_HudsonYardsNYC," CNN's Javi Morgado tweeted. "@EarlyStart’s @ChristineRomans & @davebriggstv anchoring the debut broadcast. @CNN."

AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner was heavily resisted by the Department of Justice, but the agency lost every appeal, including with an effort in December. Judges ruled the merger would not have an adverse effect on consumers. AT&T is rumored to be negotiating the sale of its 10% stock of the online streaming service Hulu.

Former Members Set to Testify Against NXIVM’s Leader

Former members of the purported self-help organization NXIVM are set to testify for the first time against their former leader Keith Raniere over egregious sex-trafficking charges involving a master-slave society within the group. The members will break their silence by testifying against Raniere on May 7 at a federal court in Brooklyn. Prosecutors have not revealed any details on who will testify about the society called DOS, or “The Vow,” founded by Raniere. A spokesperson for the district court did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Of the six NXIVM defendants named in a superseding indictment last year, all but the group’s leader have since pleaded guilty to an array of charges including forced labor, and extortion. Raniere will now face a jury by himself. The guilty pleas come after prosecutors added child exploitation charges against Raniere based on evidence he had sex with a 15-year-old girl.

There is speculation that some of the co-defendants in the case could take the witness stand against Raniere, 58, including TV actress Allison Mack, a slave recruiter, and Lauren Salzman, the daughter of the group’s president. DOS was created around 2015 and is believed to be an acronym for the Latin term “dominus obsequious sororium,” translated loosely to “master over the slave women.”

Other defendants in the case include former NXIVM President Nancy Salzman, an accountant for the group named Kathy Russell, and Seagram billionaire heiress Clare Bronfman. U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis has yet to rule on a request by prosecutors to protect the privacy of some alleged victims, referred to as “Jane Does” in court papers, by only using their first names, nicknames or pseudonyms while they testify—measures needed to protect them from “potential harassment” and “undue embarrassment.”

Raniere has pleaded not guilty to sex-trafficking and other charges. His lawyers have opposed what they call “unusual and dubious” protections that would violate his constitutional right to confront his accusers. They add it would “unfairly signal to the jury that, in the court’s view, the witness is a victim of a sex crime who is in danger.”

Notable: Twitter doesn’t buy CNN pedalling ‘credible threat’ from Iran

CNN peddles Pentagon talking points on ‘credible threat’ from Iran – Twitter doesn’t buy it

With US officials seemingly hellbent on sparking military conflict with Iran, CNN decided to lend a helping hand, raising claims of “credible and specific” threats from Tehran – and got roasted on Twitter for Iraq War déjà vu.

CNN's Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr tweeted dramatically on Monday afternoon that US officials had told her of credible “intelligence” on “threats from Iran” which included the targeting of US forces in “Syria, Iraq and at sea.” Just one hour later, acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan tweeted similarly about “indications of a credible threat” from Iran.

Ironically, the evidence-free claim comes as the US steered a carrier strike group into the Persian Gulf to “send a message” to Tehran – not exactly an olive branch gesture in itself. But even before that, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and national security adviser John Bolton had for months been trying to drum up support for US military action against Tehran.

But, despite all their efforts, Starr’s Twitter followers weren’t impressed with her big scoop, and were quick to remind her that parroting claims about US adversaries from anonymous Pentagon officials hasn’t really worked out well for journalism in the past.

It’s beginning to sound a lot like the run up to the Iraq War in 2003, they said.

Even a Washington Post report last week noted that Trump had occasionally “mused to others that Bolton wants to get him into wars” – but none of that gave Starr pause for thought when echoing the claims about so-called Iranian threats.

US Media Portray Israelis as Victims in Latest Round of Gaza Strikes

The US mainstream media recently dropped the ball by suggesting that the latest round of bombing the Gaza Strip is suffering under was triggered by actions committed by Hamas, political analyst Mitchell Plitnick told Sputnik.

"If you read the mainstream American media, you would think that what started the latest flare up was Hamas launching rockets and that's where this all began," Plitnick told Radio Sputnik's By Any Means Necessary on Monday, explaining that things came to a boil because Israeli snipers killed two Palestinians participating in the Great March of Return protests.

"The situation in the strip has been such, and the Israeli defense establishment has been warning the political branch about this, saying there's a lot less patience [from Israeli soldiers]… [and that] things are going to flare up."

"And the Netanyahu government ignored that [information]," Plitnick stressed.

According to the Jerusalem Post, Hamas has fired nearly 700 rockets at Israel since tensions escalated. Of those rockets, an estimated 173 were intercepted. Dozens of Palestinians and four Israelis were killed during weekend strikes by both sides, Al Jazeera reported.

A ceasefire, mediated by officials from Egypt and Qatar, has since been reached. An unidentified official revealed to Al Jazeera that the agreement had been established with the hope that Israel would ease its blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Notable: Watchdog Says Ensuring Integrity in CA’s Elections Crucial for 2020

Watchdog Group Says Ensuring Integrity in California’s Elections Crucial for 2020

As the most populous state with the largest congressional representation, California also has the most voters in the nation. This allows the state to have a powerful hand in national elections. During the last decade, the Golden State has gradually lowered the threshold for voters to register and get their ballots to the ballot box. Compounding on the Motor Voter Act of 1993 that allowed states to register voters at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), former Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law the subsequent “New Motor Voter Act” of 2015, which automatically registers citizens to vote when visiting the DMV. Two years earlier in 2013, the state passed AB 60, which grants illegal aliens the right to driver’s licenses. With these two laws in effect, it led to concerns that illegal immigrants could accidentally be registered to vote automatically. This was followed by the introduction of legal ballot harvesting with AB1921 in 2016. Previously, only a family member or someone living in the same household was permitted to drop off ballots for another voter, but AB1921 allows anyone to collect and return ballots to a voting precinct.

Irregularities in 2018’s elections in California continue to surface. Various groups across the state are moving to have these questionable occurrences investigated. One of these groups, the Election Integrity Project, an election monitoring organization founded in 2010, released a report covering eight counties that cited the gross irregularities that took place in the 2018 midterms in California. The report, compiled by election observers across the state revealed that thousands of vote-by-mail (VBM) voters didn’t receive their ballots. State law disallows voters from voting in person if they have registered vote by mail, in order to avoid double voting. If they wish to vote in person, they must surrender their VBM ballot to election officials. Due to these voters not having received their VBM ballots, they were forced to vote provisionally. Due to California’s 2015 New Motor Voter Act, thousands of voters across the state had their voter status changed from poll voter to VBM without their knowledge of consent. This was a result of the Department of Motor Vehicles enacting automatic voter registration for voters across the state. It was also reported that, as a result of the number of voters forced to vote provisionally, there was a 222 percent increase in provisional ballots than the previous midterm in 2014.

The Epoch Times spoke with Ellen Swensen, chief analyst of the Election Integrity Project, on the report’s findings and how to address these issues for 2020. When asked about the direct cause of the irregularities, Swensen said, “When we speak about irregularities, we’re talking about people who didn’t receive their ballot. In that case, we do not know what happened. We questioned the counties involved in the report and only one county, San Bernardino, got back to us and told us there was a problem. Other counties either did not respond or said that there was no problem.” In San Bernardino County, Swenson explained that the county office had a vendor glitch and about 1,000 voters requested a vote by mail close to the deadline of Oct. 30. “Roughly 1,000 ballots that were requested late did not go out. Around 40 percent of those people came to the polls and voted instead, and 60 percent didn’t vote at all,” she said. “That shows you the magnitude of the problem when someone expecting a vote-by mail-ballot doesn’t get one. It could lead to a large number of people not showing up.”

Swensen pointed out that a huge reason why people had their ballots switched from standard to vote by mail was due to DMV registration system issues. “We know the DMV has a lot of problems with the registration system. [They are switching] people over to vote by mail without their knowledge,” she said. Swensen also mentioned that there is no way to verify someone’s legal status via voter rolls, so many people still have concerns regarding whether AB 60, coupled with the 2015 Motor Voter Act, may inadvertently register an illegal alien to vote.

‘You’re called fake news’: Lavrov shoots down CNN’s ‘fake question’ on Venezuela

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov joked that CNN was “fake news” and described the network quizzing him about Moscow’s hypothetical response to a possible US intervention in Venezuela as a “fake question.”

Lavrov had a brief press conference following his meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, on the sidelines of the Arctic Council in Rovaniemi, Finland on Monday. One of the few questions came from CNN, asking what “leverage or opportunities” Russia had to stop a US military intervention in Venezuela.

“Some call your company CNN ‘fake news,’ and now you are asking a fake question,” Lavrov replied.

Joking aside, the Russian top diplomat continued, Russia is categorically against any military intervention anywhere without UN Security Council authorization.

“From my contacts with American, European and Latin American counterparts, I do not see supporters of a reckless military solution. I hope that this understanding, which everyone has, will be turned into a practical policy, that there will be no military solution, because it would be catastrophic,” Lavrov said.

Asked if American diplomats shared this understanding, Lavrov replied, “Yes.”

‘You’re called fake news’: Lavrov shoots down CNN’s ‘fake question’ on Venezuela

Clare Bronfman pleaded guilty to two felony charges on April 19, which was Good Friday. Some of her victims felt it was a bad Friday.

How could it be that the cruelest, most active Nxivm member, the financier of the vicious Keith Alan Raniere, got such an incredible soft plea deal – one that carries a sentencing guideline of 21-27 months? The only one of those who pleaded guilty who will serve less prison time is Kathy Russell.

A plea deal that did not include the serious charges of racketeering?

If Nxivm was a racketeering enterprise, how did its Director of Operations get off without pleading guilty to a racketeering charge?

Little Allison Mack – who had almost zero authority in Nxivm – had to plead guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy. Lauren Salzman, who like Clare, was on the executive board – pleaded guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy. Nancy Salzman – a mere order-taker since 2009 for Clare Bronfman – pleaded guilty to racketeering.

But not Clare – not the wealthy heiress. The Department of Justice allowed her to plead to two relatively minor felonies and spared her the more serious racketeering charges.

[I doubt her plea deal was a decision made by the Assistant US Attorneys handling the case. Someone with the kind of money Clare has would get her special approval at a higher level than the local Eastern District of New York office, I strongly suspect.]

One fascinating element of this case was that Nancy Salzman was accused of fraudulently doctoring a Nxivm video used in discovery in the Rick Ross litigation. This was a form of perjury and part of how Nxivm engaged in racketeering. They did a lot of racketeering in litigation.

But while they went after Nancy hard, the DOJ knew about Clare’s numerous acts of perjury in various lawsuits, far more serious than doctoring of a little video in a civil lawsuit.

Clare arranged to move the server that hosted Nxivm’s website from Saratoga County to Albany County to get four people criminally indicted – then lied about it in court documents. Clare went to the grand jury in my case and perjured herself about the existence of a contract she had just testified in a civil lawsuit did not exist.

She perjured herself in criminal cases where people could be imprisoned. The evidence is there. Witnesses would testify. But she was not charged.

CNN took the concept of “fake news” to a whole new level with a recent report on Venezuela, in which it claimed that citizens “chose” coup leader Juan Guaido over current president Nicolas Maduro in January “elections.”

In a report on Sunday’s deadly Venezuelan military helicopter crash, CNN wrote that “pressure is mounting” on Maduro to step down “following elections in January in which voters chose opposition leader Juan Guaido over him for president.”

Slight problem there, CNN.

Venezuela did not hold elections in January — and Guaido definitely did not win them. He did, however, try to seize power from Maduro by force in January with US backing — and then again in April. Both coup attempts failed and Maduro remains president with the support of millions of Venezuelans who still back him. But US officials have declared the Washington-friendly Guaido the country’s “legitimate” leader, so evidently this has been a confusing time for CNN’s intrepid reporters.

FBI Wiretap Translator Arrested For Obstructing Terror Investigation Joined Hamas-Tied CAIR to Shut Down Terrorist Screening Database

The DOJ and US Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of Virginia said in a press release Monday that a former FBI linguist was arrested and indicted on obstruction charges in a terrorism investigation.

“According to court documents, Abdirizak Jaji Raghe Wehelie, aka Haji Raghe, 66, of Burke, was a federal contractor for the FBI and worked as a linguist translating communications captured by court-authorized surveillance of a suspect (Person A) in a terrorism investigation. Wehelie allegedly intentionally misidentified his own voice that was captured when Person A left a voicemail message on Wehelie’s mobile telephone,” the US Attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Virginia stated in a press release.

In other words, Haji Raghe, who was hired by the FBI to translate wiretaps, was actually caught up in a wiretap talking to a suspected Al-Shabaab terrorist — then lied to the feds about it.

It gets worse.

It turns out Abdirizak Jaji Raghe Wehelie, aka Haji Raghe joined terror-tied CAIR [Council on American Islamic Relations] in their campaign to shut down the US government’s terrorist screening database.

Last summer, CAIR sued the Trump Administration on behalf of the Wehelie family with the goal of shutting down various counter-terrorism efforts by the US government such the terrorist screening database used by US CBP to vet people passing through US borders.

CAIR is fighting to abolish this very important screening database and argued the Wehelie family is being unfairly targeted by the feds.

Abdirizak “Haji Raghe” Wehelie served as a translator for the FBI from 2012-2015 — What kind of vetting process does the FBI have to allow a person like this to be contracted in terrorism investigations??

This is yet another egregious national security breach by our premiere law enforcement agency.

“When questioned by FBI investigators about this particular incident, Wehelie made several misleading and/or false statements,” the government said.

It turns out he was also working with CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator of the largest terror funding case in US history — feel safer yet, America?

Notable: POTUS' approval ratings blow past Hussein's first term numbers

President Donald Trump’s approval ratings blew past former President Barack Obama’s first term numbers from April 2011, according to a Gallop poll published Monday.

Trump’s ratings reached 46 percent for the first time during his presidency, the poll noted. Gallop argued the higher numbers are likely a result of a strong economy and the Department of Justice’s decision to publish special counsel Robert Mueller’s report into Russian election meddling.

Department of Labor data released Friday showed the U.S. economy added 263,000 jobs in April while the unemployment rate fell to 3.6 percent, making March the 103rd straight month of job growth. Economists predicted 190,000 jobs would be added and the unemployment rate would hold at 3.8 percent. The unemployment rate hit a 50-year low, media reports show.

The president’s rating is higher than former President Barack Obama’s numbers by April 2011, when he enjoyed a 44-percent approval rating. The former president was dealing with conservative criticism of 2010’s Affordable Health Care Act at the time.

The poll, conducted between April 17 and 30, surveyed more than 1,000 people and has a margin of error of 4 percent. It also shows Trump’s approval rating among Republicans spiked at 91 percent. Democrats’ ratings of Trump increased as well, with 12 percent approving of the president. That number is higher than the 4 percent Democrat support he received a few months ago.

Google, Facebook Inc. and other tech giants have long tinkered with ways to grow outside the core businesses they dominate. Now those efforts are becoming urgent. Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, beset by public anger over abuses on the social network, spent the company’s annual developer conference last week talking up his vision for a Facebook more focused on private messaging and small groups than on the advertising-driven social-media hub that gained it nearly 2.4 billion monthly users. Messaging is one of several areas Facebook has been eyeing for new opportunities. Another got the spotlight last week when The Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook is recruiting financial firms and online merchants to help launch a cryptocurrency-based payments system.

Apple Inc., meanwhile, said last week its sales-and-profit slump extended into a second straight quarter—the first time that has happened in more than two years—thanks to falling sales of the iPhone, the product that turned it into a colossus. Its response has been to try to morph itself into a services company fueled by app and entertainment sales as much as hardware. Google parent Alphabet Inc. has been Big Tech’s most eclectic big-idea factory. It has worked on self-driving cars for a decade and has arms devoted to everything from balloon-tethered internet access to extending human life. But it has had little success turning those efforts into moneymaking businesses. Advertising is still 85% of its revenue, and operating losses at its “other bets” segment ballooned by 52% in the last quarter to $868 million, Alphabet said last week. The perils of its ad dependence were laid bare when an unexpected drop in quarterly sales sent Alphabet shares down 7.5% on Tuesday, their biggest one-day drop since 2012.

A confluence of forces is behind Big Tech’s business-model ferment. Blowback over privacy abuses and misinformation threatens ad-driven strategies at Facebook and Google built on harvesting people’s information and maximizing the time they spend glued to the internet. The smartphone, which underpinned so much of the tech industry’s boom over the past decade, is maturing, with incremental innovation and flagging sales. And the law of large numbers, combined with the tech industry’s history of upstarts leapfrogging incumbents on innovation, compels executives to seek out new places to disrupt, lest they themselves be disrupted.

“Their perspective is: We have to keep the growth,” says Tim Kendall, a former senior executive at Facebook and Pinterest Inc. who now runs Moment, an app to help manage smartphone use. Mr. Kendall says the need to diversify is all the greater because regulatory concerns make it risky for giants to bet on growing their share of the markets they already dominate. “The current regulatory climate is such that all of them are saying, ‘We can’t acquire growth into our core business because the [Federal Trade Commission] will block it.’”

Mr. Zuckerberg in an interview with the Journal last week emphasized the significance of Facebook’s changes, calling his plan to build out less-public communication networks “the beginning of a new chapter” and attributing some of the recent executive departures to the magnitude of the switch.

Warning: 610 drinking water sources in 43 states contain potentially unsafe levels of chemical compounds that have been linked to birth defects, cancers, infertility, and reduced immune responses in children

More than 610 drinking water sources in 43 states contain potentially unsafe levels of chemical compounds that have been linked to birth defects, cancers, infertility, and reduced immune responses in children, according to a new database compiled by the Environmental Working Group and Northeastern University.

Using Pentagon data released last year and recently obtained public water utility reports, the researchers now estimate that more than 19 million people are exposed to water contaminated with per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS.

The new research shows the broad extent of the problem, that the harmful chemical compounds found concentrated in military water sources across the United States have also been reported hundreds more public drinking water systems than was previously known.

“This is a national crisis and it requires a national response,” said Bill Walker, vice president of the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit organization focused on health and the environment.

While PFAS are found in everyday items such as teflon and fast-food wrappers, the chemicals are concentrated in the fire-fighting foam that military bases, ships and commercial airports have used for decades.

Muslim American Society Investigating ‘Oversight’ After Video Published of Kids Singing About Beheading

The Muslim American Society will investigate an event at a Philadelphia Islamic Center last month at which children sang violent songs which the organization says were not "properly vetted." The group called the incident "an unintended mistake and an oversight," the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

A video of the event published by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) shows children singing violent lyrics. One girl says "we will chop off their heads" to "liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa Mosque" in Jerusalem. "We will defend the land of divine guidance with our bodies, and we will sacrifice our souls without hesitation. We will lead the army of Allah fulfilling his promise, and we will subject them to eternal torture," a girl reads. Children also sang about the "blood of martyrs" and "Rebels, rebels, rebels." "While we celebrate the coming together of different cultures and languages, not all songs were properly vetted," the Muslim American Society said in a statement on Friday. "This was an unintended mistake and an oversight in which the center and the students are remorseful. MAS will conduct an internal investigation to ensure this does not occur again."

The person in charge of the event was dismissed. The Anti-Defamation League condemned the songs sung by the children. "Children should not be indoctrinated to hate. These young people should never have been asked to make speeches and dance and lip-sync to songs that glorify violence against Jews and the State of Israel. The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is deeply complex and painful on all sides, and the only chance for a peaceful future is to teach our children to pursue peace," the ADL said in a statement.

Venezuela Air Force General Killed In Ambush Amid Guaido’s Hints At A US Military Intervention

On May 4th, a group of unrecognized heavily armed people ambushed a mixed military commission in Venezuela on May 4th. Three officers were left dead in the attack.

After an exchange of shots with an unrecognized group of heavily armed individuals, the brigadier general of the Bolivarian Military Aviation (AMB), Jackson Silva Zapata, and two officers of the Aragua Police identified as Bruno Manuel Benavidez, 34, and Jesús Eduardo Arraiz Sánchez, 30, both with the rank of chief officer were killed.

Following the failed coup attempt in Venezuela, US-Proclaimed Interim President Juan Guaido said he “overestimated” presumed military support.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Guaido said that he acknowledged errors made in his attempt to stir a military uprising. He further said he didn’t discard an option of a US military intervention and that if a “proposal” was made by Washington, he would take up to vote in the opposition-controlled National Assembly.

“Guaidó suggested that he expected Maduro to step down amid a groundswell of defectors within the military. Instead, Guaidó’s call for the rank and file and senior brass to abandon Maduro did not produce mass defections. Maduro’s security forces then quelled street protests and left Guaidó’s U.S.-backed opposition on its heels.”

“Maybe because we still need more soldiers, and maybe we need more officials of the regime to be willing to support it, to back the constitution,” Guaidó said. “I think the variables are obvious at this point.”

If US National Security Adviser John Bolton would hypothetically call him with a proposal of a US military intervention, Guaido would presumably say the following:

“Dear friend, ambassador John Bolton, thank you for all the help you have given to the just cause here. Thank you for the option, we will evaluate it, and will probably consider it in parliament to solve this crisis. If it’s necessary, maybe we will approve it.”

China Has Military Programs to Warp Foreign Perceptions, Says Pentagon Report

The Chinese regime is using influence operations in the United States to alter decisions on business and politics, and to warp public perceptions. According to a new Pentagon report, China does this to “achieve outcomes favorable to its security and military strategy objectives.”

The 2019 annual report to Congress from the Department of Defense was released on May 2, and has a special section on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) influence operations. Although the section constitutes only 2 pages of the 136-page document, it gives a general overview of the types of operations the CCP is running to alter public perception, and explains how government and military agencies are involved.

It begins with a brief overview of the CCP’s Three Warfares strategy, which has been in military operation since at least 2003. The Three Warfares are psychological warfare to alter the way a target interprets information, public opinion warfare (also referred to as “media warfare”) to control information released to the public, and legal warfare to manipulate international and domestic law.

According to the report, the CCP uses the Three Warfares strategy alongside its cyber and military operations. It says the Chinese military “likely seeks to use online influence activities” to support its Three Warfares strategy, “and to undermine an adversary’s resolve in a contingency or conflict.”

Alongside the Three Warfares strategy for its military, it notes the CCP has programs to influence news outlets, businesses, academics, and circles that make political policy in the United States.

It says, “China conducts influence operations against cultural institutions, media organizations, and the business, academic, and policy communities of the United States, other countries, and international institutions …” The purpose of these programs is to “achieve outcomes favorable to its security and military strategy objectives.”

Peter Strzok Suspected CIA Was Behind Inaccurate Media Leaks

Peter Strzok suspected CIA employees were behind inaccurate leaks to the press regarding possible Trump campaign contacts with Russia, according to an email the former FBI counterintelligence official sent to colleagues in April 2017.

“I’m beginning to think the agency got info a lot earlier than we thought and hasn’t shared it completely with us. Might explain all these weird/seemingly incorrect leads all these media folks have. Would also highlight agency as source of some of the leaks,” Strzok wrote in an email to FBI colleagues on April 13, 2017.

The email is highlighted in a letter that two Republican senators sent Monday to Michael K. Atkinson, the inspector general of the intelligence community.

In the letter, Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin asked Atkinson if he has investigated whether the CIA or other intelligence community agencies leaked information to the press.

They pointed to a Dec. 15, 2016 text message that Strzok, the lead investigator on the Trump-Russia probe, sent to then-FBI attorney Lisa Page.

“Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried and political, they’re kicking in to overdrive,” Strzok wrote Page.

Strzok did not identify a specific leak, but a day earlier, NBC News broke a bombshell story that Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally involved in the U.S. election hacks. The story was sourced to “senior U.S. intelligence officials.

Former UK Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson, who was fired for allegedly leaking information from the national security council, appears to have retained his role on the exclusive Privy Council, where he must keep secrets.

The parliamentary private secretary of Deputy Prime Minister David Lidington has been pictured holding what appears to be a government document outlining the current status of Williamson, and his retained privileges.

The document reveals that the gaffe-prone politician will remain a Privy Council member, despite being dismissed from the cabinet by May on Wednesday.

The Prime Minister asked Gavin Williamson to leave Government, having lost confidence in his ability to serve in the role of Defence Secretary and as a member of her Cabinet. This does not affect his Privy Council status.

Nadler Schedules Vote To Hold Barr In Contempt Of Congress

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler scheduled a vote Monday to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for not giving the committee special counsel Robert Mueller’s full unredacted report. The New York Democrat gave Barr a deadline of 9 a.m. Monday to turn in the full report with no redactions, which many Republicans believe would be dangerous due to the possibly sensitive material, which could be leaked. Nadler has now scheduled the congressional contempt vote for Wednesday, May 8 at 10 a.m.

“Even in redacted form, the Special Counsel’s report offers disturbing evidence and analysis that President Trump engaged in obstruction of justice at the highest levels. Congress must see the full report and underlying evidence to determine how to best move forward with oversight, legislation, and other constitutional responsibilities,” Nadler said in a statement Monday. “The Attorney General’s failure to comply with our subpoena, after extensive accommodation efforts, leaves us no choice but to initiate contempt proceedings in order to enforce the subpoena and access the full, unredacted report. If the Department presents us with a good faith offer for access to the full report and the underlying evidence, I reserve the right to postpone these proceedings,” Nadler continued.

House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins blasted Nadler in a Monday statement, saying Nadler’s request would require Barr to break the law. “Chairman Nadler knows full subpoena compliance requires Attorney General Barr to break the law. Yet, instead of introducing legislation allowing the attorney general to provide Congress grand jury material, Democrats move to hold him in contempt,” Collins said in a statement Monday. “They know the Justice Department is working to negotiate even as they pursue contempt charges, making their move today illogical and disingenuous. Democrats have launched a proxy war smearing the attorney general when their anger actually lies with the president and the special counsel, who found neither conspiracy nor obstruction,” Collins continued.

Democrats and cable news pundits have said the Mueller report is a cover-up.

Israel’s Terrorists: The White Helmets Receive an Award

Increasingly, groups and even foreign governments have pandered to Israel and its supporters in the United States because they have come to understand that success in dealing with Washington can be dependent on Jewish support.

Last week, Raed Saleh, the leader of the so-called White Helmets, also referred to as the Syrian Civil Defense, a terrorist-affiliated group, was in the United States to “…receive the Elie Wiesel Award from the Holocaust Memorial Museum for his organization’s work in Syria.” He was also dropping by to pick up a check for $5 million courtesy of the U.S. government “…to help us with acquiring ambulances and help us with search and rescue operations.”

During his visit, Saleh was treated to a nauseatingly obsequious interview courtesy of National Public Radio, which, inter alia, described how the Helmets “were the subjects of an Oscar-winning documentary two years ago, which captured images of them carrying broken and bloody Syrians from dust and rubble.”

Saleh claimed that the alleged victory of the Syrian regime in the yet to be completed war is an illusion as President Bashar al-Assad presides over a broken country, yet reports from inside Syria indicate that the return of the government to areas formerly controlled by terrorists has been welcomed and refugees from the fighting are now eager to return home. Saleh also claimed, falsely, that his organization has been

“providing services to all Syrians and to providing support to all Syrians. Now after six years of war, we have saved more than 116,000 people from under the rubble. We have not asked any of these 116,000 people who did they belong to? Is he a Kurd? Is he a Christian? Is he a Muslim? Is he with Assad? Is he against Assad? Is he with the Kurds? Is he against the Kurds? We have never asked anyone these questions.”

Saleh, whose group has only operated in terrorist-controlled areas, could not, however, maintain his approved narrative. He fairly quickly abandoned his non-partisan quasi-humanitarian rhetoric when asked about how he sees the Syrian conflict developing, saying

“We do not call this a civil war, but we rather call it a revolution against a dictatorship…the revolution still goes on. We have not lost.”

Those who are unfamiliar with the White Helmets should understand that the group has been praised by those who hate the government of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria and want to see it removed, which includes the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates. The White Helmets have played a leading role in the propaganda campaign that seeks to instigate violence or use fabricated information to depict the Damascus government as guilty of slaughtering its own citizens. The propaganda is intended to terrorize the civilian population, which is part of the definition of terrorism.

Favorable media coverage of the group has largely derived from the documentary The White Helmets, which was produced by the group itself and tells a very convincing tale promoted as “the story of real-life heroes and impossible hope.” It is a very impressive piece of propaganda, so much so that it has won numerous awards including the Oscar for Best Documentary Short two years ago and the White Helmets themselves were even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. More to the point, however, is the undeniable fact that the documentary has helped shape the public understanding of what is going on in Syria, describing the government in Damascus in purely negative terms.

“Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said Maltese academic Joseph Mifsud — the man who told former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos the Russians had thousands of Hillary Clinton's emails — likely has links to "U.S., British, and Italian intelligence services" and the State Department where Clinton served as the country's top diplomat.

Mifsud, a London-based professor and former Maltese diplomat, has long been suspected of deep ties to Russian intelligence. He is an elusive figure who has stayed out of the spotlight and is the subject of a letter Nunes, the House Intelligence Committee ranking member, sent to U.S. intelligence agencies and the State Department on Friday seeking relevant documents.”

"I never knew that you could use counterintelligence capabilities — these are the — these are the capabilities that we have in our government to go after and target terrorists," Nunes said. "I never knew that you could actually go out and use those capabilities to spy on Americans."

"And, look, we don’t know all of this yet for sure," he continued. "But I think we have strong suspicions that that is exactly what was happening."

“While some news accounts describe Mifsud as an accomplice to Russian clandestine operations or a “cut-out” (intermediary), others contend he is a full-fledged Russian spy.

In an official report, Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence asserted that “in their approach to Papadopoulos, the Russians used common tradecraft and employed a cut-out,” a “Kremlin-linked…Maltese professor named Joseph Mifsud.”

No one in the American intelligence community has publicly challenged this description.

But there is one major problem with this story: No evidence has been presented to support the claim. Although Mifsud has traveled many times to Russia and has contacts with Russian academics,

his closest public ties are to

Western governments, politicians,

and institutions, including the CIA,

FBI and British intelligence services.

One of Mifsud’s jobs has been to train diplomats, police officers, and intelligence officers at schools in ==London and Rome, where he lived==

and worked over the last dozen years.

Major Mueller Report Omissions Suggest Incompetence Or A Coverup

Robert Mueller's 448-page "Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election" contains at least two major omissions which suggest that the special counsel and his entire team of world-class Democrat attorneys are either utterly incompetent, or purposefully concealing major crimes committed against the Trump campaign and the American people.

First, according to The Federalist's Margot Cleveland (a former law clerk of nearly 25 years and instructor at the college of business at the University of Notre Dame) - the Mueller report fails to consider whether the dossier authored by former MI6 spy Christopher Steele was Russian disinformation, and Steele was not charged with lying to the FBI.

The Steele dossier, which consisted of a series of memorandum authored by the former MI6 spy, detailed intel purportedly provided by a variety of Vladimir Putin-connected sources. For instance, Steele identified Source A as “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure” who “confided that the Kremlin had been feeding Trump and his team valuable intelligence on his opponents, including Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.”

Other supposed sources identified in the dossier included: Source B, identified as “a former top-level Russian intelligence officer still active inside the Kremlin”; Source C, a “Senior Russian Financial Officer”; and Source G, “a Senior Kremlin Official.” -The Federalist

Malaysia sends ex-Goldman banker to US over 1MDB charges

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia / Mon, May 6, 2019 / 06:36 pm

A former Goldman Sachs banker has been extradited from Malaysia to the United States to face charges linked to the multi-billion-dollar 1MDB scandal, a source and reports said Monday.

Huge sums of public money were stolen from Malaysian state fund 1MDB and used to buy everything from yachts to artwork, in a scheme that allegedly involved former premier Najib Razak, and contributed to his government's election defeat.

Goldman's role is under scrutiny as the Wall Street bank helped arrange $6.5 billion in bonds for 1MDB.

Authorities in Malaysia accuse former employees and some of the bank's subsidiaries of stealing $2.7 billion during the process, and investigators believe cash was laundered through the US financial system.

Malaysian Ng Chong Hwa, a former managing director at the bank, travelled to the US last week, a person with knowledge of the matter told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Ng, more commonly known as Roger Ng, has been in custody in Malaysia since November when the US lodged an extradition request.

Ng asked to be sent to the US but Malaysia initially insisted he remain in the country until legal proceedings had been completed.

Malaysian business newspaper The Edge, citing an unidentified source, reported Malaysian authorities and the US Department of Justice had worked out a deal and Ng was now being held by the DoJ.

Malaysia has also charged former Goldman partner Tim Leissner and the bank's subsidiaries with making false statements in order to steal billions of dollars, and with bribing officials.

Leissner has already pleaded guilty in the US to 1MDB-linked charges.

The DoJ estimates that $4.5 billion was looted from the fund by Najib and his associates. Since losing power, Najib has been hit with dozens of charges linked to the scandal and last month went on trial.

because anons believed they heard "Morse Code" in the last 11.6 seconds of the song starting at time marker 3:10.

Conclusion: It is not Morse Code.

Procedure: Took an 11.6 second audio clip from the music video in MP3 format.

Downloaded and opened with Audacity 2.1.2.

Listened numerous times with headphones.

Did spectral analysis to identify audio peaks for further processing.

Peaks were noted at 1192 Hz (D6), 2298 Hz (D7) and 3526 Hz (A7). These 3 notes are harmonically related, D7 being the 1st harmonic of D6 and A7 being the 2nd harmonic.

Tried EVERY filter that Audacity has.

Tried speed changes.

World Famous Art Gallery Covers Up Artworks After Muslims Complain They Are ‘Blasphemous’.

Sharia oppression over free expression. Whenever Islamic sensibilities and those of non-Muslims differ, it is the non-Muslims who must give way. When in Muslim countries, non-Muslims should conform their behavior to Muslim sensibilities. When in non-Muslim countries, non-Muslims should conform their behavior to Islamic sensibilities. That is the dictum that Western elites and authorities increasingly follow.

Shame on Saatchi quislings. Covering up art is the opposite of art and its purpose.

The Saatchi Gallery has covered up two pieces of artwork after complaints from Muslims that they were “blasphemous” because they contained text from the Quran.

Breitbart, May 6, 2019:

The pictures depict Islamic script including the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, on top of nude images. The work, by an artist known as SKU, aimed to highlight the distinctions between Islamic extremism and the United States.

The paintings were part of an exhibition entitled Rainbow Scenes that finished on Friday, and offended Muslim visitors called for the pieces to be taken down, according to The Times.

Usama Hasan, head of Islamic Studies at the think tank Quilliam, claimed the pieces of art were “really dangerous,” alleging, “It’s The Satanic Verses all over again.”

The Satanic Verses, a novel written by Salman Rushdie which was critical of Islam, resulted in the Ayatollah of Iran issuing a fatwa (religious order) against Rushdie calling for his death. Rushdie spent years in hiding with police protection following the incident.

Fear about reprisals for so-called blasphemy against Islam in the West has led to multiple publications and media outlets to self-censor. This has come particularly in the wake of incidents such as the Charlie Hebdo massacre in which journalists were gunned down in France for publishing a cartoon of the Muslim prophet Muhammed.

Instances of self-censorship include The Times article that originally published this story, which has opted not to depict the artwork but rather has shown it only covered in cloth as it appeared in the gallery.

Noted author and sociologist Frank Furedi said he was “disappointed” by the decision to censor the artwork, calling it “a very dangerous [move] against artistic freedom.”

The Saatchi Gallery agreed to cover the work when the artist requested it, with a spokesman telling The Times, “It seemed a respectful solution that enables a debate about freedom of expression versus the perceived right not to be offended.”

The gallery has previously put works such as ‘Piss Christ’ — a crucifix submerged in urine — on proud display, flatly rejecting objections from Christians.

Things are getting silly.

Bill Clinton says Kavanaugh fight was payback for Vince Foster

LAS VEGAS — Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh got what he deserved when he was accused in his confirmation hearing of sexual assault — because of his role in investigating the Clintons in the 1990s, former President Bill Clinton suggested. "He didn't have any problem making us put up with three years of Vince Foster nonsense that was a total charade," Clinton, 72, said Sunday during a joint appearance with his wife Hillary at the Park Theater in Las Vegas during the last stop in the 10-event "An Evening With the Clintons” speaking tour.

A childhood friend of Bill Clinton, Foster, 48, became a deputy White House counsel in Clinton's White House in 1993 after being a partner at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Ark., where Hillary Clinton was a colleague. In July 1993 his body was found in Fort Marcy Park in northern Virginia with a single gunshot wound to the mouth. After three years, an investigation by independent counsel Robert Fiske concluded in June 1994 that Foster had committed suicide. That was the same conclusion reached by several other investigations, but Kavanaugh critics have accused the future justice of dabbling in the conspiracy theories that swirled after Foster's death.

In early 1995, however, Kavanaugh offered his boss, independent counsel Kenneth Starr, the legal rationale to broaden his Whitewater investigation to include the Foster death. Kavanaugh, then 30, argued that the possibility Foster might have been murdered gave Starr the right to delve more deeply. “We are currently investigating Vincent Foster’s death to determine, among other things, whether he was murdered in violation of federal criminal law,” Kavanaugh wrote to Starr in a March 24, 1995 memo. “[I]t necessarily follows that we must have the authority to fully investigate Foster’s death.” The new Foster inquiry, led by Kavanaugh, gave succor to conspiracy theorists, boosted Kavanaugh's reputation as a hard-charging Republican lawyer, and allowed Starr to continue investigating Bill Clinton, eventually leading him to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. After a three-year investigation, Kavanaugh concluded in 1997 that Foster had indeed killed himself.

Bill Clinton argued in Las Vegas that all this meant Kavanaugh had no moral authority to complain about being hit with unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations from his high school days. Kavanaugh vehemently denied claims by Christine Blasey Ford stretching back to the early 1980s, when they both attended private high schools in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. After days of angry Senate Judiciary Committee hearings that delved into Kavanaugh's personal life, he won confirmation to the Supreme Court by the narrowest margin since the 1880s.

Clinton said Kavanaugh's behavior harkened back to the notorious "red-baiting" lead lawyer and political adviser to Sen. Joe McCarthy, R-Wis., in the 1950s, Roy Cohn — who went on the represent Donald Trump in the 1970s and was known as a master of innuendo. Clinton said Trump and his family have "been doing that for decades in business and other contexts."

Comedian and actor Rob Schneider fired off a half dozen tweets this weekend calling out the censorship campaign being perpetrated by big tech firms from Facebook to Twitter and purported news organizations like Poynter.

The Waterboy actor retweeted a post by investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson who, warned about the seemingly endless censorship being perpetrated by Google, Facebook, Twitter and the like.

When did we decide, as Americans, that it’s ok for government & 3d parties to censor/curate our info?” Attkisson asked. “That we cannot be trusted with unfiltered info? That we should only be able to find info that *they* tell us is true on matters that are opinion or in legitimate dispute? #SlipperySlope”

Schneider also retweeted a message from writer Stephen Miller who noted that purported news agency Poynter had pulled its list of “unreliable news sources” and apologized for the “weakness in the methodology” in how they arrived at the names on the list.

“We are in a real world Orwellian nightmare of censorship. Be careful who you label and smear today. You will be the smeared tomorrow,” Schneider wrote in reply to Miller’s post.

Kraft Heinz to restate certain financial reports after investigation

(Reuters) - Kraft Heinz Co will restate financial reports for over a two-year period to fix errors that resulted from lapses in procurement practices by some of its employees, the packaged food company said in a filing on Monday.

Kraft Heinz also said it received an additional subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 1, related to the assessment of goodwill and intangible asset impairments and a request for documents associated with the procurement business.

The company had disclosed in February it had been subpoenaed by the SEC related to an investigation into its accounting policies, procedures and internal controls related to its procurement. Following the first subpoena, the company, together with its external counsel and forensic accountants, initiated an investigation into the procurement practices.

Kraft Heinz had in February also announced a $15.4 billion write-down of its iconic Kraft and Oscar Mayer brands. Monday's filing revealed that the misstatements would increase the amount by about $13 million.

Due to these findings, the company said it would not be able to timely file its quarterly report for the period ended March 30, sending its shares down about 1 percent before the bell.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc, Kraft Heinz's largest shareholder with a 26.7 percent stake, said on Saturday its results exclude Kraft Heinz's results because it had not released its own quarterly results.

Still, Buffett told CNBC after Kraft Heinz disclosed the restatements that the company had his confidence.

(of course he does…has about 300million shares of it)

black rock has alot too.

The misstatements in its reports for the years 2016, 2017 and the first nine months of 2018 mainly relates to the timing and recognition of supplier contracts in the procurement area, the company said.

Scott Walker: Republicans need to wake up to Democrats’ nationwide judicial power grab

Former President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder won’t tell the truth when it comes to their redistricting strategy, but here it is: Pick a state, any state, and sue until it’s blue. They have spent years and millions of dollars selling the false narrative that Democrats draw “fair maps” while any and all Republican-drawn maps are “partisan gerrymanders.” While rhetorically cute, their primary goal has nothing to do with fighting gerrymandering as they repeatedly claim, but to put redistricting in the hands of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats and lifetime-appointed judges.

Their strategy makes sense. There are plenty of unelected federal judges presiding over these redistricting cases who will enthusiastically toss out constitutionally drawn maps to help elect more Democrats. That’s exactly what happened recently in both Michigan and Ohio, despite the entirely dubious and suspect arguments from the left. It will also not be a surprise if liberal federal panels do the same thing in other states in the coming weeks.

In recent years, we’ve seen this over and over again and it’s time that Republicans wake up to the reality of the Democrats’ nationwide judicial power grab.

British police say leak of top secret Huawei 5G details did ‘not amount to a criminal offence’

Announcement from London’s Metropolitan Police follows the sacking of British defence secretary Gavin Williamson

The top-secret leak that Britain had conditionally allowed China’s Huawei to develop its 5G network, which brought down the defence minister, does not amount to a criminal offence, police concluded on Saturday.

Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday sacked Gavin Williamson as defence secretary over the leak last month of the bitterly-disputed decision made at the April 23 meeting of the National Security Council (NSC).

Following the police announcement, Williamson, who has strenuously protested his innocence, said he was the victim of a shabby “witch-hunt”.

He hit out at May and Mark Sedwill, Britain’s top civil servant who carried out the government’s internal leak inquiry that led to his sacking.
